A 7.1-magnitude earthquake has hit southern California, less than two days after another strong tremor in the state.
It hit at 8.19pm local time 11 miles from Ridgecrest in the Mojave Desert, the site of Thursday's 6.4-magnitude quake.
It was also felt in Las Vegas and parts of Mexico, while offices in downtown Los Angeles shook for around 30 seconds.
The earthquake is the strongest to hit the region in 20 years, with seismologists giving it an early rating of 6.9 to 7.1 on the Richter scale.
San Bernardino County Fire Department reported damage to buildings, including homes shifting, foundations cracking and walls coming down.
